Man arrested for fatal Seattle shooting

A 19-year-old man was arrested by Seattle police SWAT officers in a Jan. 3 shooting that killed a 22-year-old woman and wounded a 26-year-old man.

The double shooting happened about 10 p.m. in the 9300 block of Rainier Avenue South. The woman was shot in the chest at the Subway restaurant and found in critical condition.

The other victim was shot twice in the legs and also was taken to Harborview Medical Center. He was initially in serious condition, but was alert and talking when medics found him.

Police said the shooter ran south on 52nd Avenue South. The 19-year-old suspect was arrested Tuesday morning in Maple Valley. Police say they’re also looking for another suspect in the shooting, but did not give a description.

Seattlepi.com does not usually name suspects until they’re charged. The 19-year-old is expected to have a bail hearing Wednesday afternoon.

Investigators asked that anyone with information, even those who want to remain anonymous, call 206-233-5000.
